Anti-DcR3, NT (TR6, Decoy Receptor 3, TNFRSF6B, TR6, M68)

Decoy Receptor 3 is a 33kD member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. DcR3 acts as a receptor for FasL and LIGHT, preventing them from binding to their cell death receptors and thereby inhibiting apoptosis. DcR3 is a soluble decoy receptor found in adult stomach, spinal cord, lymph node, trachea, spleen and lung. It may also be found in fetal lung, brain and liver. It is highly expressed in several primary tumors from colon, stomach, rectum, esophagus and in SW480 colon carcinoma cells. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 0.5-1ug/ml, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 1ug/ml . Requires heat induced epitope retrieval. Sodium citrate buffer pH 6.0 is recommended for this purpose., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: WB: Human heart lysate, Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
